DLTK's Crafts for KidsFood Bank
Turkey

"I love this site and tell all my friends and fellow teachers
about it. My school has a food drive every year like a lot
of schools do . This year I made a big turkey for the kids to stuff
with food."

Materials:

construction paper,

feathers

scissors,

glue,

large, clean trash can

brown butcher paper.

tape,

markers

Instructions:

First I cut out some big feathers from different colors of construction
paper. (about 4X11) -- then I gave them to all the teachers in my center
and had the children in their class decorate them with colorful feathers.

When they gave them back I went to work putting the turkey together.
Take a large clean trash can and wrap it with brown butcher paper.

Cut out a body for the turkey and attach it to the brown paper.

Then start taping the feathers that the kids decorated around the
body of the turkey.

I added a face to the turkey, of course (just use markers to draw
a simple turkey face on a piece of brown butcher paper).

Add a sign above that read " Help us stuff the turkey".

The kids all love it and they look for the feather they decorated.
We will see how many days it takes to stuff the turkey.
